The Society is excited to debut a new benefit for members in 2022: access to the ACLS Humanities Ebook Collection at the discounted rate of $25/year. This curated-resource features over 5,700 scholarly books from over 125 publishers. These include C. Paul Christianson’s A Directory of London Stationers and Book Artisans, 1300-1500 and all 29 volumes of Sabin’s Bibliotheca Americana. As part of its ongoing work, the Publications Committee is adding more titles relevant to bibliographical scholarship.

Booksellers are among the most prolific users of the bibliographical work the BSA supports, and the vital nexus through which passes so much of humanity’s primary source material. As such, we hope you’ll consider sponsoring the BSA Annual Meeting on January 28. Our menu of opportunities presents a broad range of sponsorship levels, offering benefits for every budget.
Our Fall/Winter 2021 Events are happening! Join us for conversations on the Bluestockings Bookstore, the Essence Book Project, and a speaker series, “Collecting, Knowledge, & Power: Perspectives from Latin America.”
Registration is required for all events. Click through for descriptions and registration links.
This is a special year for the BSA Annual Fund. A group of Council members has banded together to offer a $21,000 matching grant challenge for the 2021, and we met that goal in September!
And now, members of Council have upped the ante! Make a donation today and your gift will be doubled until we reach our new goal of $25,000.
To sweeten the deal, give $75 or more and get a fabulous BSA tote bag as a thank you gift!
Service on a Committee or Working Group is one of the most consequential and rewarding ways for members to be involved in the work of the Society.
The BSA seeks a diverse and inclusive roster of volunteers, and we welcome self-nominations from members of this community to contribute to our mission by serving. Our inter-professional and inter-disciplinary community seeks to continue building our reputation for inclusion and diverse and stimulating programming.
Our Committees and Working Groups help to steer the direction of the BSA and the field of Bibliography. By volunteering, you will take an active role in that process!
We are thrilled to report that the Bibliographical Society of America’s first-ever membership drive has been a resounding success. This membership drive was part of the Society’s efforts to bring our vision of a broader, more inclusive, and exciting bibliographical community to life.
We extend a hearty welcome (back!) to each and every new and returning member, and offer our sincere thanks to the existing members who renewed their memberships early or purchased gift memberships for others.
